Science 2.0 Three-dimensional printing technology can now include electrical components, such as resistors, inductors, capacitors and integrated wireless electrical sensing systems, and researchers have put that concept to the test by printing a wireless "smart cap" for a milk carton that detected signs of spoilage using embedded sensors.READ MORE

Huffington Post Few topics are as controversial in the U.S. as voting. But regardless of politics, it's hard to argue against the fact that America's voting system, at least in many parts of the country, seems outdated.

So it was only fitting that Honda unveiled its mid-cycle refresh for the Accord recently at its newly expanded Silicon Valley research and development facility. The 2016 version of the mid-size sedan and coupe is heavy on bells and whistles and is "the most technologically advanced Accord we've introduced to date," said Honda spokesman Sage Marie. READ MORE

Forbes Intel and Micron jointly announced a brand new memory technology, dubbed 3-D XPoint (Cross Point) memory. 3-D XPoint is fundamentally a new class of memory, the first to be introduced in many years. I'm not going to cover more of the technical specifics here — instead I'd like to discuss the kinds of devices this technology could enable in the not too distant future.READ MORE
